Optimum Siting of Wind Power Plant in a Distribution Network – A Case Study

Abstract

Optimum site selection based on financial analysis can provide additional supplementary benefits, in terms of reduced power losses, if Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) installed at the site, is connected to an optimum node in the Distributed Network (DN). This article further optimizes the site selection with regard to the distribution network. In a large distribution network with a number of potential sites, the presented method proves very helpful in selecting an optimum site with regard to the distribution network.
